Let’s take a look at sea kelp noodles, a great source of the all-important sea vegetables that most of us don’t eat enough of (me included). I discovered these about two years ago and quickly bought a case.
Kelp noodles are…noodles made from kelp. Okay, that was an easy one. But that’s really about all of the description that’s needed. They contain only three ingredients: water, kelp, and sodium alginate. Before you freak, sodium alginate is a salt derived from brown seaweed that, they claim, helps chelate heavy metals from the body.
They have a neutral taste and are pretty light with a slight crunch. Some people think they’re a bit rubbery, which I can see, but they might have an “off” package. Mine are typically slightly crunchy, kind of like properly cooked spaghetti squash, whether I eat them raw or cooked.
You can use them either straight from the package as long noodles or chop them up into more edible sizes. I almost always chop mine up into about 1″ long pieces just by slicing across the mass that comes out of the package. They also work both raw and cooked.
Hello! I hope you enjoyed your Thanksgiving holiday (for those of you that celebrate Thanksgiving). My girlfriend and I spent another Thanksgiving away from home in Kentucky. Last year, I was living in San Diego and she came out for us and some friends to have a big meal and a lot of wine. This year, we’re helping on a farm down in Macon, GA. I smoked a turkey, made a great CranApple-Sage Stuffing, and played with the horses.
Here are some great posts and news articles from around the web to check out while you’re recovering from yesterday.
For instance, traces of GM pollen have been found in honey. …. Dishonest honey distributors buy the cheap stuff from China where it may be contaminated with antibiotics and heavy metals or it may not even be honey at all — it may be high fructose corn syrup or other artificial sweeteners.
